Designing the nameModifier
Design the nameModifier portions of the file name. The
child manifests and media files include this modifier in their file
names.
This nameModifier distinguishes each output from the
other, so it must be unique in each output.
-
For an output that contains video (and possibly other streams), you typically describe the video. For example, if you have three renditions, you might use
-high,-mediumand-low. Or each modifier could accurately describe the resolution and the bitrate (-1920x1080-5500kpbs). -
For an output that contains only audio or only captions, you typically describe the audio or captions. For example,
-aacor-webVTT.
It’s a good idea to start the nameModifier with a
delimiter, such as a hyphen, in order to separate the
baseFilename from the nameModifier.
The nameModifier can include data variables.
